cause even from a business perspective, it makes no sense to hold it in such a tiny venue when they should easily be able to attract many many more fans. | ||

Apart from the money, I can't imagine the players being too excited about this. "Give me my cheque kthx bye". | ||

If MSL folds, could GOMTV fill it's place? Wasn't the main reason for KESPA not liking GOM was the fact that it forced the players to play too many games? | ||

Umm .... the title is awesome and so is 20k or 15k or 30k or 10k or whatever it is this year, jaedong only makes 100k a year, 20k would be a fifth of his yearly salary .... for a couple weeks of training and 2 hours MAX of gameplay .... but yes the title is far sexier 'theoretically' | ||

I wasn't saying the money is meaningless, but between JD and Flash (both S-class players making bank), the MSL championship isn't about the cash. | ||

besides, players say they play better at practice so hopefully a less stressful environment will allow them to play at an even higher caliber, and maybe jaedong will have a chance. | ||
